Key Moments
Editorial Summary
This weekly news update covers several significant developments within the cruise industry. The report begins with an incident involving Royal Caribbean where a guest on Quantum of the Seas tested positive for coronavirus. Following standard procedures, guests were quarantined in their cabins until the ship returned to port, though subsequent testing confirmed the initial result was a false positive. Data from the Cruise Lines International Association indicates that more than one hundred thousand people have cruised since the industry shutdown in March 2020. Regarding scheduling changes, Virgin Voyages has delayed the first sailings of Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady until May and November 2021 respectively. Cunard has also extended its cancellations, with Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 expected to sail in May, while Queen Elizabeth is delayed until June. Finally, Emerald Cruises has floated out the Emerald Azura, a super yacht with a capacity for one hundred passengers, which is scheduled to begin its maiden voyage in January 2022.
